The Castle Lord's Mansion Chamber

The conference hall is located in front of Lan Gongying's study, the room is not big, there is a long table in the middle, there are two chairs in the first place, Lan Gongying sits at the bottom, and the top is empty, because that position belongs to Dong Lan, even if the city lord rarely participates in this kind of occasion, Lan Gongying has always reserved a place for him. Lan Gongying's lower head also had an empty seat, which he reserved for Su Meng'an, and opposite Su Meng'an's seat sat Feng Xizhu.

In addition to Lan Gongying and Feng Xizhu, there were four or five people, and on the chair next to him was also a pale young man, who was Feng Cunzhu. His injuries were mostly healed, but he was still a little weak. Originally, Lan Gongying didn't want him to participate in this discussion, but he insisted on coming, and Lan Gongying couldn't resist him, so he let him sit on the sidelines. And there is also an acquaintance of Yu Che, that is Wei Peng. Wei Peng is Feng Xizhu's deputy general, and he can be regarded as a high-level person in Xiaogucheng, so he is also qualified to participate in such a meeting. And because Jia Shuo is only a thousand-commander, he is not eligible to participate.

Lan Gongying looked at the people present and said, "Everyone, you should have also heard the news released by the Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce, what are your opinions?"

A middle-aged man on Feng Xizhu's left side spoke: "City Lord, if you want me to say that we should send someone to take a look first, otherwise how can we know if what this Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce said is true or false." ”

A handsome man opposite him said, "General Xiang is a little cautious, I think the Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce should not have the courage to deceive us." And even if he had the guts, would he dare to deceive the many other forces in this small lonely city?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Brother Zike, you think simply. The Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce is connected to Fengyang Mountain, one of the nine sects of the Seven Treasure Domain, and if he doesn't have the guts, I don't think so. ”

The handsome man frowned and said, "I didn't take this into account. Then he turned his head to look at Lan Gongying and said, "City Lord, this Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce has a connection with Fengyang Mountain, and Baicao Pavilion has a relationship with the Medicine King Pavilion to clean up or not, so why don't we also check Shangwu Hall?"

Lan Gongying frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Investigate the matter of Shangwutang or wait for this matter to be resolved, and then you will have full authority to deal with it." Then he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Xiang Quan, I appreciate your opinion, you can explain it in detail." ”

The middle-aged man's name was Xiang Quan, and he was the fourth powerhouse in Xiaogu City besides Lan Gongying and Dong Lan, Feng Cunzhu and Feng Xizhu, and his strength had reached the peak of Sword Venerable. The daily work is to inspect the small lonely city, and Feng Xizhu's job is to inquire about the outpost on the permafrost ice field, and Feng Cunzhu is to follow Lan Gongying's side to maneuver. And after Feng Cunzhu was injured, Lan Gongying transferred Feng Xizhu back to stay by his side, and two strong men with the strength of Sword Venerable went to take over Feng Xizhu's work.

And the handsome man's name is Chen Zike, but his strength is lower, but it is the strength of Xiaocheng of the Sword Sect, who is in charge of the intelligence work in the small lonely city.

Chen Zike's first sat an old man, this old man's name was Xin Xu, and his strength was also at the level of Sword Venerable, but he was Xiao Cheng, who was in charge of Xiao Gucheng's lawsuit.

There is a woman sitting in the first place under Xiang Quan, but her appearance is slightly ordinary, the woman's name is Chen Wu, and her strength is also Jianzun Xiaocheng, who is in charge of the treasury of Xiaogucheng. And Xin Xu's next place is sitting Wei Peng, Wei Peng is Feng Xizhu's adjutant, and under normal circumstances, he organizes some personnel transfers.

Xiang Quan nodded after hearing Lan Gongying's words and said, "I think the center of gravity at this time can be tilted in the direction of Shangwutang. The Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce couldn't bear the loneliness anymore, and at this time it was already eager to make a move to Shangwutang. Things are already developing in the direction we expected, but as the situation in the small lonely city becomes more and more complicated, and all forces gather here, it is inevitable that something will go wrong. ”

Lan Gongying nodded and said, "What about your opinion?"

"We can send someone to the so-called inheritance place to investigate, if it is true, we will go with the army to hunt for treasure, if it is fake, we will also go, but it is only to lead the trouble, we also have to inform Shangwutang to go together, if there is a conflict between Shangwutang and the Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce, it will not harm the innocent people in the city. Xiang Quan said.

As soon as the words fell, Xin Xu said: "The old man thinks that he should wait for the city lord to come back and then discuss, after all, Gongying, although your strength is not weak, there are three or four existences in the city that are not weaker than you." I don't know what their position is like at the moment, and if we go out on a business trip, we don't have any people from the town, do we? ”

Lan Gongying said: "Dong Lan should be on the way back at this time, if the domain master gives him some more tasks, it may have to delay some more time." It will take about a month or so to be able to return to the small lonely city, and that time is exactly the time that the Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce said. ”

Lan Gongying glanced at Wei Peng, who was sitting at the end without saying a word, and asked, "Wei Peng, do you have any opinions?"

Wei Peng was stunned at first when he heard Lan Gongying's call, but then hurriedly said: "City Lord, I have shallow knowledge, so let's not talk about it." ”

Lan Gongying said: "If you have anything to say, it will be fine." ”

Wei Peng then said: "I think we should go happily in a month." ”

Lan Gongying raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Wei Peng took a deep breath and said, "These days, there have been more and more people in the Little Lonely City, and many sects in the Seven Treasure Domain have come to the Little Lonely City. This inevitably raises the question, what are they doing here? Could it be that they are just running for the relics of this so-called Eight Turns Sword Saint?"

Wei Peng shook his head when he said this, and then said: "I also have a lot of acquaintances in the other cities, and their cities are also full of people, and most of them are from the Seven Treasure Domain, and I don't know what the so-called is. Could it be that there are relics in other places as well? ”

"Then what are they for?" Lan Gongying said.

"For the permafrost of ice. Wei Peng's words were shocked. Feng Cunzhu, who was resting on the chair, also came to his senses, and listened attentively to Wei Peng's analysis.

Lan Gongying frowned and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

"It's been a few months since the ice fields weren't peaceful. The anomalies are frequent, and even General Feng is a trick. Speaking of this, Wei Peng looked at Feng Cunzhu, and when he saw that Feng Cunzhu didn't have much reaction, he continued: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, there must be something doing something on the ice field, and this is the source of attracting these powerhouses of the Seven Treasure Domain." You know, these guys have very tight noses. ”

Lan Gongying looked at the young man with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and then said, "The purpose is over, let's explore your solution." ”

Wei Peng replied and said, "My method has been mentioned before, that is, let's organize a team to go to the so-called inheritance land. And this team can't be too strong and not too weak. ”

"What's the reason?" Lan Gongying asked.

"Of course, there are four benefits. First, we can move these time bombs out of the small lonely city, and the friction in the Seven Treasure Domain is also constant, if a conflict breaks out in the small lonely city, even if it is calmed down, it will cause some damage to the small lonely city. However, if they divert their attention in other ways, this hidden danger will be eliminated. Wei Peng looked at Lan Gongying as he spoke, and when he saw that Lan Gongying could listen attentively, he continued: "Second, we can take this opportunity to secretly contact some forces that have a good relationship with the Northern Regions Guardian outside Xiaogu City to form a backup alliance, and if anything happens, we can deal with it together." After all, there are many people in the small lonely city, and if they are discovered, it will be worth the loss if they are prepared in advance. Third, as Xin Lao just said, we can buy time for City Lord Dong to return to the city. ”

"What about the fourth?" Lan Gongying asked.

Wei Peng said in a gloomy voice: "Fourth, we can rob it." We had previously locked down the city, but it affected a large part of the economic income in the small lonely city, and the City Lord's Mansion invested no less than five million gold coins one after another to maintain the economy. Why don't we take this opportunity to make a profit?"

As soon as the words ended, everyone laughed. Although they represent the official power of the Little Lonely City, this does not mean that they are good people. Sometimes the good guys are the ones who are worse than the bad guys.

"That's a good point. Lan Gongying smiled, "Then what do you mean when you said before that the team is neither strong nor weak?"

Wei Peng said again: "This is also a point that we need to grasp, if the strength of the traveling team is too weak, it will make other forces have a suspicious attitude towards us, thinking that we are hiding secrets, and there must be other secret tricks." But if it is too strong, it may make people feel a sense of vigilance, and there is a saying that the awl that comes out of the head rots first. It's not good to stand out from the crowd. ”

Lan Gongying even said: "What you kid said is right, you don't have to follow Feng Xizhu in the future, just give me an adjutant." ”

Feng Xizhu on the side said: "My lord, you don't pay attention to this, I am such a capable person as Wei Peng, you will give me a leave." ”

Lan Gongying said: "You kid is still bargaining with me, isn't it? I want it, what can you do." By the way, didn't you say that the new commander Jia Shuo is not bad, let him be your adjutant. ”

Without waiting for Feng Xizhu to answer, he said to everyone: "Since the plan has been designated, who will sit in this team leader?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the two of them say together: "I'll go." ”
